Reading Festival has been hosting some of music's greatest performers for more than 44 years with acts including Nirvana, Suede, Blur, Ice Cube and the Beastie Boys performing throughout the years.

The festival has been running since 1971 and although the line ups and genre of music have evolved massively, world class performances from festival fan favourites continue to be guaranteed during the weekend.

This year sees a first for any UK festival with five headliners performing over the three days.
